WW2 didn't hurt China's life expectancy, due to the communists taking over the country piece by piece the conditions of the population improved DURING WW2. That's how bad things were before the revolution. The conditions of a revolution, a civil war and a fascist invasion of extermination were simultaneously better than the humiliation and exploitation reaped by the British, American, and other capitalists. The life expectancy was 33 years old when Mao launched the revolution.
The maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry.
I said it started rising because WWII ended not it that is was low because of it. Life expectancy increased all over the world at the end of WWII even in countries not directly involved. The end of WWII brought with it incredible advances in medical technology. Most notable was the mass production and distribution of penicillin. Evidence for this can been seen by looking at the similar life expectancy trends across other nations. One country with very similar trends is Brazil. Life expectancy was historically in the low 30s then WWII ended and there was immediately a huge spike in life expectancy.
China beat the Japanese because the communists temporarily allied with the KMT to beat them. They were getting their ass kicked otherwise. Mao and the communists stay responsible winning even in your shit excuse.
Citing Brazil is funny as fuck because they had a revolution in 1930, and guess when their life expectancy began to improve?
Show
Fuck all to do with ww2 and life expectancy was already nearly 50 before ww2 even ended. Revolutionaries stay winning.
Advances in modern medicine had virtually no impact in China's life expectancy at the end of WWII because the vast majority of Chinese did not have any access to medicine whatsoever at that time. They didn't even have vaccines, which had been around long before WWII. They often didn't even have food, with famines being incredibly common before the communists came to power.
Medicine did have an effect later, around 1968, but it wasn't because of a breakthrough in technology but rather because of the wildly successful Barefoot Doctors program, which brought basic healthcare to hundreds of millions of Chinese. The post WWII bump was more because of land reform and lifting the boots of the landlords off the peasants necks, allowing them to keep more of what they growed.
The immediate bump after WWII isn't the main point of the meme, however. The main point is a clear long term trend of rapid growth following a long period of stagnation, with the pivotal turning point being exactly when the CPC came to power.
Life expectancy increased after WWII ended who would have guessed.
WW2 famously lasted from the 1850s to the 1950s.

What many don't know is that WWII was also known as the Hundred Years War, the linear progress of time proofs that.
